Four Seasons Hotel Boston
Forty years facing the Public Garden – bay windows over the swan boats, a lobby redone by Ken Fulk in the Garden's own colors.
Back Bay · Boston
A sense of the place








Why it's in the collection
Because it has held five-star standing for more than a quarter century facing the Public Garden, and wears it lightly – a snack pantry on every floor, a mystery closet for the children.
- Opened in 1985 at 200 Boylston Street, facing the Public Garden and Boston Common; 273 rooms including 77 suites, with garden-view Executive Suites set in bay windows over the Garden and the 2,590-square-foot Royal Suite.
- Arrival, lobby and public spaces refreshed by designer Ken Fulk in 2023 in a palette drawn from the Public Garden; Coterie, a brasserie of French-influenced New England classics, opened with it, alongside the Library cocktail lounge and the Sottovento coffee bar.
- An eighth-floor heated indoor pool and whirlpool looking over the Public Garden to Beacon Hill.
- The Vault – a complimentary snack pantry on every guest floor – and a mystery-closet key issued to children only.
